The ONUSAL Human Rights Division worked with the FAES to develop military training modules in democracy, rule of law, human rights, and the new doctrine of national defense.1 Progress was made in these educational efforts, but evidence of criminal activity by FAES personnel continued to surface.2

Compensation of demobilized members of the FAES, which began on 15 December 1993, proceeded quickly in early 1994, and it was agreed on 28 January 1994 that the indemnities should be fully distributed by 30 June 1994.3

The estimated strength of El Salvadorian armed force reduced to 22,000 personnel in 1994.4
